Bush Stages Fake Disaster Relief.
According to ZDF News (German TV), the president’s visit to New Orleans was a completely staged event. The news crew says they witnessed the food and water distribution effort was immediately torn down after the American press had left. “The people in the area were once again left to fed for themselves” said ZDF.
Meanwhile, Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu released a statement saying:
“Perhaps the greatest disappointment stands at the breached 17th Street levee. Touring this critical site yesterday with the President, I saw what I believed to be a real and significant effort to get a handle on a major cause of this catastrophe. Flying over this critical spot again this morning, less than 24 hours later, it became apparent that yesterday we witnessed a hastily prepared stage set for a Presidential photo opportunity; and the desperately needed resources we saw were this morning reduced to a single, lonely piece of equipment. The good and decent people of southeast Louisiana and the Gulf Coast -- black and white, rich and poor, young and old -- deserve far better from their national government.”
